eBook – Article Marketing Secrets

I have this great eBook that I want to share with you.  But there is a small problem.. you see.. I’m afraid you will not read it if I give it away. Personally I download small eBooks and reports all the time and the fact is that most of them (almost all of them) just go directly to the “free reports and ebooks” pile on my hard drive.

But when I have to pay for them I always read them through.. no matter how small of a fee. So I have decided not to give you this fantastic eBook but rather hand it over for a minimal fee of $1.99

Creating Niche Web Sites Is Something Anyone Can Do!

The internet is a very powerful marketing tool in the present time. The markets for several, if not all, industries have already made their presence known online and even have their own websites making them more accessible to their customers. Another effective marketing strategy over the internet is with the use of niche web sites.

Niche or themed websites are basically websites that are outright in having their focus on a single theme, area, product or market. It is a very important element in order to be successful in online marketing. This is a very powerful factor that determines the ranking of a certain website in the whole World Wide Web.

The theme of a website should be something that can answer the specific needs of the people who go online searching for certain information. When someone goes online and types in the keywords in the search bar, the sites that are shown on the results page end up as the most popular and visited sites for the specific information one looks for.

Setting the website based on a much focused niche thins out the competition from similar sites. With this tactic, it is easier to make your site stand out against all the other sites of the same information as your own. Although this also involves a lesser amount of potentials, there is a greater level of sales possibilities since most of the customers who get to your sites are those who are already decided to go after the information or product offered in your site. This fact makes niche sites it the perfect choice for affiliate marketers.

Driving the online traffic towards your site involves no sweat at all. This is where online marketing works at its best. The following are a few trusted techniques that are easy to learn and perfect in no time.

1. Posts in forums – There is a growing number of discussion forums online at the present time. They are focused on various topics and are really good sites to start with. One can simply look up for forums that are similar to the niche of the website and get registered there. When adding a comment or post, the website can be included in the personalized signature.

2. Online articles - The use of online articles is widely used today. Niche websites include a list of ample article directories of ones submitted by writers. The article page should have a link that can lead the reader back to your niche website. For more detailed info on article marketing you should read my Article Marketing Tips for Newbies post

3. Publish blogs – Making use of personal blogs is also helpful. They can easily be published with RSS feeds. The most important thing about the blog site is its timely updating and have quality inputs. You can find more details on blog marketing if you read my Blog Marketing – How To Make Money Blogging? post

There are other various tactics to achieve the desired traffic flow to the one’s site. Whether it is a product, theme or a piece of information, smart use of such of a niche website is an ultimate marketing aid that has been trusted to work for some time already. Hot niche websites are the in thing nowadays. They are effective and absolutely helpful in the world of online marketing.

But how to build one? If you have no clue on how to build a successful niche web site for your product, services or some affiliate marketing then I would like to suggest you take a look at two programs that will teach you how. There are of course many other great programs out there but these are the ones I can vouch for.

1. Wordpress Goldmine

This is a program I got early this year and it’s one of my two most favorite one’s. It’s extremely easy to use/follow and it will teach you everything you need to know in a very short period of time. I’m not going to explain the program any further here.. if you like you can read my full Wordpress Goldmine review for more details on it.

2. Mini Site Formula

This is a program I have not used myself but it comes highly recommended from a friend of mine.  It’s basically a program that teaches you now to build, market and maintain niche mini sites with minimal effort.

Earlier this week I decided to do a Profit Miracle Review. The reason was simple, it’s been rather popular on clickbank but I still had difficulty finding a real review on the product. Sure, if you google “Profit Miracle Review” you will get hundreds of pages, but most of those so called reviews are nothing more then a rewrite of the sales letter from Profit Miracle, trying to get you to buy the product so that someone can collect the commission for the sale. I understand that, but I´m still always a bit surprised when I see people promoting a product when they have no idea if it’s good or not! So I’m doing this reveiw to make sure that there is at least one honest Profit Miracle review out there!

If you don’t want to read the full review here are the fundamentals:

Q: Is the Profit Miracle a scam?
A: No – It might not live up to the promises on the sales page but it’s not a scam

Q: What is the Profit Miracle all about?

A: Despite what the sales pages promises you, it’s NOT a simple click, set-and-forget system. Basically it’s a membership site where you have access to tools and information to help you do article marketing and if you want to succeed with it (yes, you can make a lot of money using this system) you have to do a lot of leg work. In my opinion however, there are other products and programs out there that do this so much better than the Profit Miracle.

Update 7th of september 2009

There used to be a lot more information here regarding Profit Miracle.  I have decided to take most of it away after being bullied into doing so. I guess the people at Profit Miracle don’t like anyone posting a bad review on their product so I have been dealing with threats of international lawsuits and what not and to be on the safe side.. I decided to back of a bit.

I did not throw the review away, I keep it in a safe place along with all the comments (70) while I take a closer look at what rights I have in this matter.

So here are my final thoughts on Profit Miracle.

The Profit Miracle was updated a few days ago as more videos were added to the site. I have to say that the quality of content in those videos is far better than in the older ones.  Some of the stuff on those is also very helpful for a newbie, especially the Clickbank video.

Unfortunatley I think that this product/program is still lacking some fundamental things like how to do keyword research and how to use keywords in articles, how to research niches and more.

Bottom line… 1 star out of 5 possible.

If a friend were to ask me if he should get Profit Miracle I would advice him to some other product where I feel he would get more value for his money.

In this Commission Ritual review I want to take look at a product that was launched just few days ago and is rapidly gaining sales and success. The product is basically a blueprint system from Brian Johnson. Brian Johnson has made a killing online and knows these systems in and out. It was only a matter of time when he would open up his book of secrets to us. First impressions are great and I’m very excited!

But before I go into details.. here is what you need to know:

Q: Is the Commission Ritual a scam?
A: No!

Q: Is it worth the $4.95
A: It’s $4.95.. who cares? ..but yes.. it is

Q: What will I get when I buy this system
A: You will get one of the most detailed systems I have ever seen. There are more than 90 videos that explain every single step in so much detail!

You honestly don’t even need to read the full review, just spend the almost $5 dollars and see for your self.. Get Commission Ritual now!

If you want the boring details, here they are…

Now, taking first glance at the membership page my first words are simply, Oh My God. I have never seen so many detailed videos explaining every single detail there is to the process of making money online. Brian has absolutely made a super product here. Beside that his 130 page book is very well written and explains everything very well (easy read for newbies) everyting else is just overwhelming. He even provides a bunch of great templates for wordpress that you can use to build your site on. This is just amazing!

Now before I get carried away.. let’s look what is in the Commission Ritual package.

There is the 130 page Commission Ritual Manual
Then there is the Desktop reference
The 90+ videos I am in love with

And there is more, now I’ve been in sales for a very long time and I’ve seen many people fail at internet marketing because they don’t know the proper words to use. Loads of free traffic means nothing if you can’t get it to buy your stuff. And this an area where Brian shows his strength. Not only is he among the best in getting high conversion rates.. he has decided to give you some of his secret phrases!

you will get a pdf containing his buying keywords and phrases

I get a lot of questions regarding domain forwarding. The thing is.. article directories like Ezine Articles don’t allow you to use your hoplink (affiliate link) and they also only allow the so called root forwarding. This means that you have to buy a domain name and have it forward to the product page if you want to be able to send potential customers directly to a sales page.

So here is my Domain Forwarding For Newbies Guide
#1 Root Forwarding
#2 Create A Forwarding Folder

Since most I know are using GoDaddy.com to buy domain names (.info domains for only $1) this guides uses screenshots from them.

#1 Root Forwarding | Root URL Redirection

Once you have bought your domain (at GoDaddy.com), login and go to the “My Domains” page and click on the name of the domain you wish to forward (to a sales page using your affiliate link/hoplink).

On the next screen, click the “Forward” button (see image below)

Now you should be seeing the “Forward and Mask Domains” screen (see img below)
You need to do the following:
1) make sure you are on the “Forwarding page”
2) Click the “Enable Forwarding”
3) Paste your hoplink/affiliate link into the “Forward to:” box
4) Click the “301 Move…” selection
5) Move over to the Masking page (instructions below)

Now you should be seeing the “Forward and Mask Domains” page, Masking Page (see img below)

You need to do the following:
1) Click the “Enable Masking”
2) Put description in the “Masked description Meta tag” (using not more than 160 chars)
3) Put you domain name in the “Masked title” – Make sure you use “http:YourDomainNam…” (I forgot the “http://” part in the screensot)
4) Put your best keywords in the “Masked keyword Meta tag”
5) Press the “OK” button

This is all there is to it.. It takes a few minutes for the forwarding to “go online” – just check regularly. If it is not working withing 30 minutes than go through all the steps again to make sure you did everything correctly.

If you have any questions.. just place a comment and I’ll answer as quickly as possible.

#2 Create A Forwarding Folder | Folder URL Redirection

Here I explain the other kind of forwarding/redirections. In the guide above we were redirection any traffic coming to YourDomainName.info

But there is another way to do things. Let’s say you don’t really want to buy a domain for every product then you can simply get one domain, host it and then create a forwarding folder for each product you need forwarding. I would not recommend this since some of the best article directories (like Ezine Articles will not allow it). I will however show how this is done since it is a very useful method for those creating niche sites.

Lets say you just signed up as an affiliate to a dog training program and you just bought MyDogTrainingProgram.com at GoDaddy.com (yes.. that domain name is available as this is written). You are going to build a niche dog training site there with training tips and tricks for dog owners and then promote the training program you just signed up as affiliate to.

The best way to forward to the training program from your site is to use a forwarding folder, for example: http://MyDogTrainingProgram.com/go/nameofprogram
In the code this would look like this:
<a href=”http://MyDogTrainingProgram.com/go/nameofprogram” >TextLinkHere</a>

For this to work you need to do two things:
1) You need to access your website using an ftp program and create the folder
2) You need to tell your host provider how to  forward all visist to this folder

and here is how you do those two things..

First of all, hopefully you are using HostGator or Bluehost. These are the two best hosting providers you can get for niche sites, it’s a simple as that. The screenshots below are taken from one of my HostGator accounts and it looks almost identical to Bluehost.

1) Let’s start by creating the folder we need (http://MyDogTrainingProgram.com/go/nameofprogram)
If you know how to use an FTP program that is great and I really don’t need to explain this to you. For those of you not familiar with FTP I’m going to simply use the FTP  filemanager that is readily available on your so called cPanel (control panel) at HostGator or Bluehost.

Start by logging into the control panel (cPanel) of your hosting account (you should have received login information in an e-mail when you signed up)

On the cPanel main menu find the “FileManager” (see image below)

Once you click it it might ask you to select which directory to open, just select the web root (see image below) and click OK

After selecting the Web Root directory you should be taken to a screen looking similar to the one in the image below…
Make sure that you are in the WWW or public_html directory and then click the “New Folder” button.

In this example I decided to name my folder “go” (see image below)

You should be able to see it in the File Manager now (see image below)

Now that you have created the “go” folder select it in the webtree (see image below) and then click the “create folder” button again.

You should give this folder the same name as the product. Example: if the product name is Dog Training Guide then name the folder “dogtrainingguide”… to keep things simple I just named my folder “ProductName” (see image below)

You are now done with the first part as we have created this directory http://www.DogTrainingProgram.com/go/ProductName

2) Now lets create the redirect.
Since you have created a folder, all you need is to tell the Host that youwant to redirect all traffic that comes to this folder.

Log into your hosting account. At your cPanel find a box called “Domains” in it should be a button called “Redirects” – Click it.. (see image below)

On your screen you should see something very similar to the image below…

a) Select the “TYPE Permanent 301″
b) You put in your domain name  as shown in the picture.
c) Behind the domain name you put the name of the two folders you just created earlier. In my case I created a “go” folder and the “ProductName” and you can see that in the picture (don’t forget the forward slash between them.
d) Paste your hoplink/affiliate link into the “redirects to” box
e) I always select “Redirect with or without the www.” – It ensures that it will forward all traffic even if I forget to put the www in my link
f) You don’t really need the Wild Card Redirect. It’s just a habit of mine to have it set like this
g) now just press ADD

If you have done everything correctly you should now test it. Open a new browser window and type in it: http://www.YourDomainName.com/go/ProductName
It should redirect you through the hoplink you used.

If it’s not working make sure you have everything spelled correctly and that the folders are where they should be.
If you can’t figure it out just use the comments below and I’ll help you throught the steps

Now you can add folders and products to promote
Now that you have learned to use folder redirects you can add more folders to this site if you want to promote more than just the one product. This gives you the power of promoting just as many products as you want using this one domain.. it also makes it very easy to stop promoting one product and start promoting something else.

Good luck

We all know that finding a profitable niche to sell can be hard. Well I found a 30 minute video you can watch for FREE.

It is on a product page but you don’t need to buy anything or opt-in to watch it.. it’s totally FREE!

It’s the 4th video from the top, under the headline: “How To Find A Profitable Niche To Sell…The Movie!”

ps. this video (and the program)  is created by David, a good friend of Travis Sago, the father of ‘bum marketing’. Travis told my about it and now I’m passing this on to you. (Travis and I both agree that it’s an excellent video!)

This post might look like a bit of a rant but it does have a lot of valuable information on Niche Keyword Research.

I just needed to get this off my chest. I am working on a more detailed post explaining keyword research in general, what tools to use, how to do it etc.

anyways.. here are some Niche Keyword Research Tips…

Niche keyword research is a challenging task. However, a lot of new website owners think that the process is fairly easy. Even if tools like Overture Search Term Suggestion and the free version of Wordtracker are available, these tools won’t exactly bring in the desired results. This is because these tools only give a rough guide as to the keywords that are commonly searched but do not really give all the things required to process this information.

Expert keyword research is not just about the keywords that people are typing into their search buttons. It involves both research and analysis and there is a lot to the process that cannot be left to luck. It’s best to leave keyword research to the experts, true, but it pays if you know the top 5 tips for effective keyword research.

Latent Semantic Indexing is one of them. Basically, people use a string of words to search for information online. This is what LSI is after – to know how people position their words in multi-word phrases when they conduct a search. LSI may come up with generic terms but these terms have the tendency to attract traffic more than the main keywords you have.

One mistake that most people do in doing keyword research is that they use a long string of different keywords and paste it in the same meta tag description of every page in their site. This is not effective. In doing keyword research, you have to be page specific, that is focusing to only 2 to 5 keywords per page. Sure, this takes longer but it ensures that each page on your site gets a higher ranking for their own keywords.

Keywords can also be country specific, therefore you have to consider this when you do keyword research. For example, color is spelled colour in British English and if you don’t include this in your list of keywords, you are losing a lot of possible traffic. Therefore, you have to consider the different kind of spellings and even misspellings when doing keyword research.

As previously mentioned, you also need to use some analysis when researching for keywords. You may already have implemented the use of keywords for your website but you still need to check out the competition for the keywords you have selected. You can achieve this by typing in your keyword in search engines. From there you can see your competition and how far down you are in search engine results.

You should also see to it that you monitor your keywords and continue doing research as your website breaks through the online scene. You have to do this so you can do some tweaking where needed. Keeping your site up to date with SEO techniques is one way to ensure success.

This may be too much to take at one time and you may feel that it is best to leave these things to the expert. But, if you research on each tip thoroughly, you’ll become an expert yourself in no time.

Until my next keyword research post.. good luck!
